Rectal Temperature and Respiratory Responses of Jersey and Sindhi-Jersey (F1) Crossbred Females to a Standard Hot Atmosphere

Abstract

In the course of systematic studies of crossbred cattle resulting from an experimental breeding program made with Jerseys and Red Sindhi as the parent stocks, a number of F1 Sindhi-Jersey females have been subjected to a standard hot atmosphere to determine the i r responses to hot atmospheric conditions. The effect of such exposures on rectal temperature and respiratory rate is reported in this paper. :E~XPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS
